Description
The A1180, A1181, A1182, and A1183 devices are sensitive,
two-wire, unipolar, Hall effect switches. The operate point, B
OP
,
can be field-programmed, after final packaging of the device
and placement into the application. This advanced feature
allows the optimization of the device switching performance,
by effectively accounting for variations caused by mounting
tolerances for the device and the target magnet.
This family of devices are produced on the Allegro
MicroSystems advanced BiCMOS wafer fabrication process,
which implements a patented, high-frequency, chopper-
stabilization technique that achieves magnetic stability and
eliminates the offsets that are inherent in single-element devices
exposed to harsh application environments. Commonly found
in a number of automotive applications, the A1180-83 family
of devices are utilized in sensing: seat track position, seat
belt buckle presence, hood/trunk latching, and shift selector
position.
Two-wire unipolar switches are particularly advantageous
in price-sensitive applications, because they require one less

This variant is in production, however, it has been deemed Pre-End of Life. The product is approaching end of life. Within a minimum of 6 months, the device
will enter its final, Last Time Buy, order phase. Status change: January 31, 2011. Suggested replacement: A1190LLHLX-T.

Variant is in production but has been determined to be NOT FOR NEW DESIGN. This classification indicates that sale of the variant is currently restricted to
existing customer applications. The variant should not be purchased for new design applications because obsolescence in the near future is probable. Samples
are no longer available. Status change: January 31, 2011.
wire than the more traditional open-collector output switches.
Additionally, the system designer gains inherent diagnostics
because output current normally ows in either of two narrowly-
speci ed ranges. Any output current level outside of these two
ranges is a fault condition. The A1180-83 family of devices also
features on-chip transient protection, and a Zener clamp to protect
against overvoltage conditions on the supply line.
The output currents of the A1181 and A1183 switch
HIGH in the
presence of a south polarity magnetic eld of suf cient strength;
and switch LOW otherwise, including when there is no signi cant
magnetic eld present. The A1180 and A1182 have inverted out-
put current levels: switching LOW in the presence of a south polar-
ity magnetic eld of suf cient strength, and HIGH otherwise. The
devices also differ in their speci ed LOW current supply levels.
Both devices are offered in two package styles: LH, a SOT-23W
miniature low-pro le package for surface-mount applications,
and UA, a three-lead ultramini Single Inline Package (SIP) for
through-hole mounting. Each package is available in a lead (Pb)
free version (suf x, –T) with 100% matte tin plated leadframe.
Factory-programmed versions are also available. Refer to: A1140,
A1141, A1142, A1143, A1145, and A1146.
